U.S. Chamber Supports Introduction of Emergency Pension Plan Relief Act of 2021

"The U.S. Chamber of Commerce supports Chairman Bobby Scott’s introduction of the Emergency Pension Plan Relief Act of 2021, which aims to protect workers’ and retirees’ pensions and the employers that contribute to them.
